Dog Bites

Pet Owners are Liable for Injuries

Whether it is known to pet owners or not, when they own a dog, they are responsible for any damage or injury their dog may cause to another person.  In our state, if person gets hurt as a result of a dog bite or attack, their owner is completely liable for any expenses and other damages that are caused, especially if the canine gets loose or is not leashed while walking them.

While many pet owners believe their puppy or dog would never hurt anyone, the truth is that their actions can never be predicted and surprise attacks can occur, particularly when a child startles or upsets the animal.  Due to the extensive injuries that can be caused by a dog bite, if you or someone you care about has recently been involved in an accident of this nature, it is in your best interests to speak with a skilled Orange County personal injury lawyer about the details of your situation.  You may be entitled to compensation and a legal representative can help to gauge what is appropriate and then seek any financial recovery that is fair and deserved on your behalf.
